What Information is on the 1099 Tax Form?

The Hand of the Man Holding the Tax Form 1099-Misc.

What is a 1099 MISC? Form 1099-MISC is a standard Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form used to report certain types of miscellaneous compensation. The misc files definition includes income such as rents, prizes, and awards. In years past, Form 1099-MISC was also used to report non-employee compensation for independent contractors, freelancers, and the self-employed to document non-employee compensation.

In the year 2001, the IRS estimated that over 16% of taxes owed weren’t paid on time. The new form is intended to streamline reporting requirements to close the estimated $345 billion tax gap caused by late payments.[1] Starting with the 2020 tax year, non-employee compensation is reported to the IRS using Form 1099-NEC: Nonemployee Compensation. These forms are generally used to report business payments and not personal ones.

Who Needs to File a 1099-MISC: Miscellaneous Income Form?

Form 1099-MISC is completed and sent out by someone who has paid at least $10 in royalties or broker payments in lieu of dividends or tax-exempt interest to another person. The form is also sent to each person to whom you paid at least $600 during the tax year in any of the following categories:

  • Rents
  • Cash Prizes and financial awards
  • Payments to an attorney
